I did the original drawing for this at a drawing session in Albuquerque while I was on vacation. Later, I enlarged the drawing and created the mixed-media piece, reworking the drawing to become part of the painting. Before I added the writing to it, I knew it needed something more, but had to sit with it for almost a year before I figured it out. 16" x 20"

$225.00

This is an original mixed-media painting that combines collage, and acrylic paint and ink on canvas; sealed with polymer varnish.

The piece is signed and dated on the front. The sides are painted so it can either be hung as is, or framed.

I approach creating these mixed-media pieces much like working in my visual journals. I have no preconceived idea of what the outcome will look like or exactly what I’m going to do. I just start working and see where it takes me, adding paint, collage & photos, sometimes sewing, sometimes printing or stamping, until I know the piece is finished.

The copyright watermark is not on the original artwork.

(Note: I do my best to make sure the color looks accurate, but, everyone’s monitor is different. So the color might look different in real life than it does on your computer.)

A love of my past lived in the country in Baldwin City, Kansas. He had a lovely field of poppies near his house that I loved to photograph. The photo in this piece was taken with a Holga camera. 12" x 12"

The picture is part of a mausoleum gate in the cemetery across from my house. I find the ironwork on it very beautiful. This is the family mausoleum of John P. Usher, who was President Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of Interior. 12" x 12"

Shortly after I started this piece mid June 2012, my beloved cat, Goliath, disappeared. The painting changed focus and became about him. The piece is titled "Distraction" because I felt everything I did, other than trying to find him, was just a distraction for me until we were reunited. I searched extensively and exhaustively for him, but he was never found.
